"I have one more question for Miss Xiao," said the Green Envoy. "Surely the Green Envoy isn't so lacking in empathy, right?"
"She is now a criminal wanted by the court. Your Highness should be careful not to get too involved and bring disaster upon yourself," Xiao Qingmu replied.
Sima Ke snorted softly and approached slowly, his gaze intense as he whispered to Xiao Qingmu:
"Where exactly is that item hidden? If I can get it and present it to my father, there might still be a chance to turn things around."
Despair filled Xiao Qingmu's eyes, knowing that Sima Ke was only trying to take advantage without giving anything in return. She chuckled softly and replied in a low voice:
"It's on me. Do you dare to keep me here?"
"You...."
Sima Ke's eyes narrowed, showing a dangerous expression.
"If you don't tell, then death is indeed the only path left for you."
